POSTED: 4:06 p.m. EDT July 23, 2003
Mini-Me actor Verne Troyer is taking marriage to the max.
According to Britain's Sky News, the 2-foot-8 "Austin Powers" film star is engaged to a model who's more than twice his size.
His fiancee, Genevieve Gallen, is 6-foot-2.
Sky News reports that Gallen is a yoga instructor and model. Troyer and Gallen have been reportedly dating for a year, after initially meeting at a New Year's Eve Party in Beverly Hills, Calif, in 2000.
Troyer was featured prominently as Doctor Evil's (Mike Myers) sidekick in "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me" in 1999, and in its follow-up "Austin Powers in Goldmember." In "Goldmember," Troyer played both Mini-Me and a miniature version of Powers (Myers).
The actor has also been featured in such films as "Men in Black," "Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas" and "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone."
There's no word on a date for the nuptials.
